Vascular Treatments in San Clemente, California
Vascular lesions, also known as spider veins, port wine stains, or telangiectasia, are small dilated blood vessels that form directly under the surface of the skin. Vascular lesions can appear as a single thread or a small cluster-like spider web, hence the nickname spider veins. Most vascular lesions are hereditary while others are a result of aging, hormones, and sun exposure. Sitting or standing for long periods of time can exacerbate them. Because vascular lesions are not necessary for circulation, many individuals have them removed to improve their skin’s appearance.

THE ASTANZA LASER
During treatment, our ASTANZA laser will direct pulses of light energy onto the unwanted vascular lesion. The laser light is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood, causing the blood to vaporize and collapse the vessel without damaging any of the surrounding skin tissue. As the unwanted vascular lesion breaks down, it becomes less visible and eventually disappears.
HOW LONG DOES TREATMENT TAKE?
Vascular lesion removal is a very quick procedure that lasts under 15 minutes depending on the size and number of lesions being treated. Most patients experience optimal results after 2 to 3 treatments.
AFTERCARE AND RECOVERY STEPS
Patients may experience bruising, slight discoloration, and redness of the treatment site following treatment. These side effects will gradually fade over the next two to three weeks following treatment. We recommend staying active and exercising daily to prevent additional vascular lesions from forming.
